At the same time, they also recognize the right of property owners to build structures and develop property in a way that is consistent with adopted standards.

A background in landscape architecture is highly desired. The ideal candidate should also have the ability to actively listen to many viewpoints and should know how to raise thoughtful questions in a group setting. Lastly, candidates should be skilled communicators and able to speak in public.
